Significance: Theme Residential Architecture Area Santa Ana Period of Significance: 1911 Property Type: Single -Family Residence Applicable Criteria: A/1, C/3 (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity) The Rose House is historically significant for its contribution to the National Register of Historic Places -listed French Park historic district and architecturally significant for its association with architect Frederick Eley. It is a good example of Eley's work in the Craftsman style, with its low-pitched side -gabled roof treatment, strongly horizontal lines, and use of wood reminiscent of Swiss and Japanese architectural traditions. Eley has been labeled, with reason, Santa Ana's premier historic architect. He was born and educated in England, migrated to Canada, and eventually landed in Santa Ana in 1911. He opened an architectural practice and within two years had built a substantial portfolio of architectural commissions throughout Orange County that included several schools, numerous residences, and a variety of commercial and institutional buildings. He proved himself to be master of many architectural oeuvres, including the Craftsman style, which he demonstrated in his design for this house. The Rose House was built in 1911 and the first known resident was Sarah E. Bloodgood. Ms. Bloodgood originally purchased the property from W.H. Spurgeon Realty Company and ultimately built the Rose House for the amount of $3,000. After a twelve month illness Ms. Bloodgood passed in 1912. In 1915, Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Rose purchased the residence for $3,500. Little is known about Mr. W.S. Rose. However, Mrs. W.S. Rose was President of the Santa Ana Women's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U) and hosted a number of community organizations and social events. Mr. and Mrs. W.S. Rose continued to live in the residence until at least 1963. According to city directories, the next resident was Thomas B. Gorman, who resided at the property until 2015.
